View 9 Replies View RelatedI just installed Opensuse 11.4 (gnome) in a new desktop but the screen resolution is 1360x768 60hz and this is not listed in monitor settings, so the monitor keeps displaying "not optimized mode" message. In order to use the correct resolution, I used these two commands:xrandr --newmode "1360x768_60.00" 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsyncxrandr --addmode VGA1 "1360x768_60.00"it worked, but every time the computer is restarted, I must run this command again. So I think "I just have to create a script in the initialization!". It works, every time the computer is started, there is no need to run the commands again. But when program enters in full screen, the resolution is "lost" and the monitor message is displayed again.

I have been using VirtualBox for really long time, and personally I like it a lot, specially the screen resolution auto change to fit the window size. Lately I have moved to qemu/kvm for the sole reason to learn kvm, I have been missing different things from VirtualBox, but Am trying to stuck with It for now as I said just to learn It. Now to my question, Is there a way to get an automatic screen resolution change to fit the window size of the VM like what I get in VirtualBox?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running Puppy from a usb in Windows 7 using Virtual Box and I can't get the 1280 x 800 screen resolution to work. The probe doesn't recognize my monitor initially in the video setup. When I choose this screen resolution in the xorgwizard it ignores the resolution I select and uses 1600 x 1200. If I try to reduce the resolution in the resolution changer, it decreases the window size but the desktop stays at the same resolution effectively cutting off the majority of the desktop from view. I have been trying the intel, radeon, vesa, and vmware drivers but none of them seem to work. Do I need to install a special video driver? I am using a unibody macbook.

It is stuck on a 1680x1050 resolution and in the system display settings the menus are disabled since there is no detected real display connected.
I need to lower the resolution to e.g. 800x600. code...
When I boot my computer I get this message: Warning Pc video resolution is out of range Change setting to recommended resolution 1280x1024 @60mh So I hit ctrl alt f1 I typed in Sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Nothing happens. It's been very frustrating because with everything that I've looked up it says that it's suppose to guide me through something. I desperately need my computer for school.
View 8 Replies View RelatedEver since I installed Debian, my monitor keep saying: "Input Signal Out of Range Change Settings to 1600x900 - 60Hz". So I thought it a problem of the screen resolution, so I have been trying to edit my xorg.conf file, but it doesn't seem to work at all. And this is my settings.

How can I change screen resolution?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm very new to Ubuntu and have 9.04 running on a Sony Vaio, don't know what graphics card I have. My screen resolution doesn't have an option higher than 800x600, so everything looks super zoomed in. Other threads tell me to edit xorg.conf, which I did (probably incorrectly). The result was the computer had mega problems when I restarted it, and when it finally got back to the desktop it didn't give me any other options for screen resolution. Also it says I'm in low graphics mode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my desktop pc from 10.04 to 10.10 and ran into a tad of trouble. After I attempted to login from the GDM, something caused the system to crash and return to the GDM. So, I got my laptop out, did some googling, and decided to delete ~/.config/monitors.xml to try and reset the resolution. That got me to the Desktop, at which point I was greeted by more display issues.
The point at which the computer normally goes idle seems to crash and return it to the GDM as well. Needless to say, I disabled the idling/password prompt setting to prevent crashes every five minutes. Anyway, the prevailing problem is that I can't change the resolution itself -- as that seems to cause the same issue.
I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell computer I have. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't seem to change the screen resolution. In the monitor Preferences it says Monitor:Unknown. It's stuck on 1600x1200 and I'd like it to be closer to 1024x768
I've tried changing the xorg.conf file to no avail. I've been browsing for 3 days now looking for a solution.
[URL] These are my specs if it helps any, ignore the windows installation info because I have it installed alongside ubuntu.
I cannot get my screen resolution to change from 1600x1200. This is a new install of Ubuntu 10.10 and the desired option ( 1024x768 ) is listed under System/Preferences/Monitors. Changing the resolution and clicking Apply results in a screen refresh, but the resolution remains at 1600x1200.
I have gone through just about every tutorial and thread I can find, but nothing works. Here is some relevant information I have gathered code...

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust Installed the latest version of Ubuntu Netbook on my Toshiba Portege 7200 and the screen resolution is set to 800x600. The OS is not recognizing the fact the laptop can do 1024x768. I've been searching the net for a few hours to fix the problem and I'm not getting anywhere. The fix to the problem is to add the info below to the Xorg.conf file. This file does not seem to exsist on the latest version and if I create it manually it does not work.

I have just installed openSUSE 11.2 on one of my computers... the desktop resolution is correct, however the welcome screen resolution is not... How do i change the welcome screen resolution?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot change the screen resolution down from 1680x1024 (or whatever the default is). Sometimes the task bar disappers, or I get a 'split-screen' effect. I have low vision. I need the old 1024x768 resolution.
I have tried Ubuntu, and many of it's derivatives eg, Linux Mint, Ultimate Edition, and yesterday with Zorin, that seems to be getting good reviews at the moment, and they all have the same problem. Older versions of 'buntu did not have this problem, only 10.04 and 10.10.
I have a standard desk-top pc - Pentuim IV using the on-board Intel graphics, and a Dell monitor.
This is VERY frustrating. Ubuntu is very common and widely-used. The only solutions I can find on the 'net have to do with reconfiguring the X11/xorg file, except there isn't one anymore. This is ridiculous. It should just work. Suse Linux and PCLinuxOS work on my hardware. Why not Ubuntu? By the way, I am not a newbie. I have been using Linux for the last six years, experimenting with different distro's.
If someone could shed some light on this, I would be most grateful. I don't believe I'm the only person who has had this problem, but there is very little infornmation on it.
I am running Windows 7 inside KVM on Cent OS 5.6. how do you change the screen size of the Windows 7 KVM. It is about a third of the size of the current screen resolution.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNow that I'm more lucid I can adjust the format a bit. If I try opening the TTY the screen goes completely black after visualizing few artifact on the bottom of the screen.
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 brings me back safely to the GUI
So far I tried to modify the /etc/defaults/grub file to uncomment the grub resolution and the grub_terminal to no avail. Now at least it seams to waste some less time to load the grub (it took something like 15 sec before) but it lost the previous green/torquoise background and now it's white char on black background.
On a side note pressing C on the grub to reach the grub console gave me some answer I don't know how to deal with... I was trying to use vbeinfo but it didn't found the command and so I tried the insmod:
Photo(large) of the complete grub console session wrote:grub>

I upgraded my opensuse from 11.2 to 11.3, but after it, I have several problem with it.
Firstly: My graphic card is intel hd4500 and motherboard chip's is intel G41. After upgrading, I understood suse 11.3 didn't have sax2. at a result. I have problem with graphic card driver and consequently can't change screen resolution, therefore after each restart, my resolution automatically fix to 1600x1200 but I would like to set it in 1280x1024? What can I do to change it permanently?
Secondly: I installed vmware workstation 6.5 and after it, I see a message that say vmware need to Kernel Header 2.6.34-12- desktop. I install kernel-syms, kernel-source, gcc and make but doesn't run yet. What happen for it?
I am trying to change the default screen resolution in Run Level 3 to 640x480. I have tried changing the menu.1st file and the vga=0x301 mode sticks until the system begins to boot and then resets to a higher resolution. This system does not have X, or Sax2 so no go on those options. This is OpenSuse 11.3 x64.
